But I remembered that the USFL is using tight rosters, correct? I don't even see a kicker on their current roster (although there is a punter). Is there a chance that some regulars are going to be asked to cover specialist duties?

I actually think that's a great idea -- make punting rarer/more fun by having less-good punters and snappers. And you can have less good punters and snappers by forcing teams to use generalists rather than specialists through roster size.
